[] About Program

Fundamental changes occurred in the design and manufacturing of industrial products in the world especially after 80’s. The qualities and functions of industrial products have changed significantly with the technological developments in changing and developing world markets. While rapidly improving technology and continuously changing marketing conditions require more economical products with higher quality, the expectations of the clients are towards more flexible and multi-functional products.

As a result of clients’ rapidly changing demands and heavy marketing competition, life spans of the products have decreased dramatically. Under such hard conditions, classical design and manufacturing technologies fell behind expectations; consequently, new concepts and methods came out to meet the needs.

One of these concepts is industrial automation which has affected the philosophy of design and engineering education. It has also caused great changes in industrial technology development and engineering education. Fields such as product design, system dynamics and intelligent control, the observation, modeling and control of manufacturing processes, active robot systems, electronics of force, micro system design and applications, industrial control systems, sensors and robot systems, image processing, artificial neural networks, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and sectors like defense industry, automotive and textile are some major areas of industrial automation.

One of the programs in the area is Mechatronics. The graduates of this program can set up, main, repair the systems consisting of mechanics, electric, electronics and information technologies and keep them working properly. Automotive industry, dyeing and chemical industry, facilities which design and manufacture with computer-aided systems, medical device industry, forest industry, manufacturing of machine parts industry, defense industry, mass production industry, factories and any systems of industrial automation are among the application areas of industrial automation. The graduates of the program will be

 

· Carry out basic on-line processing

· Draw and set up hydraulic and pneumatic systems

· Carry out processes requiring basic manual skills

· Main and repair mechanisms

· Set up, main and repair automatic control systems

· Draw the pictures of model products on computer

· Set up, main and repair programmable control systems

· Control robot systems

· Use industrial data trace programs

· Follow periodicals in foreign languages and internet sources

· Organize business meetings.

[] Admission Requirements
The admissions of students to the programs are made according to the Student Selection and Placement Center (OSYM – University entrance exam) within the framework set by the regulations of Higher Education Council (HEC). After students inform the Student Selection and Placement Center about what programs they want to study at, students are placed in the related programs according to their scores they got from the exam. Graduates of related vocational high schools can enroll in the department within the framework set by the regulations of Higher Education Council (HEC).

Foreign students are admitted to the related programs with the scores of internationally acceptable exams such as SAT, ACT or are admitted to the related programs with their high school graduation grades (Undergraduate and Graduate Programs for Foreign Students Admission Guidelines).

The admission of students of General Academic Exchange Protocol to the related programs are done within the framework of the bilateral agreements (ERASMUS, FARABI, etc) signed between Duzce University and the partner universities. Guest students may enroll into the courses in this program, if the related academic unit approves. Sufficient language knowledge is required to monitor the program.
[] Course's Contrubution To Program
To complete the available courses in the program (a total of 120 ECTS) successfully, the students have to get at least 50 points out of 100 and required to achieve 2.00 on a 4.00 weighted grade point average. To graduate from the programs students should get at least DD in all of the courses provided.Students are also required to complete the compulsory practice in the specified time.
[] Recognition of Prior Learning
Students enrolled in DU might be exempted from certain courses within the framework of certain regulations. A student can be exempted from a certain course provided related course content previously received from another institution complies with that of DU, which is subject to approval and verification by the Board of faculty/graduate school/school.

Recognition of Education Abroad

DU recognises academic terms and courses studied by a student that has been involved in an exchange programme for one or two terms at the universities with which a partnership was established.

Students that are selected to avail themselves of Student Mobility for Studies under ERASMUS are obliged to draw up an education agreement with relevant ERASMUS Unit Coordination prior to the mobility term. The education agreement demonstrates the courses to be studied at the partner university the student intends to go, as well as appropriate ECTS credits.

In addition to this, students shall be asked to issue a Recognition Sheet, which refers to the equivalent of foreign courses in DU, so that the credit transfer is planned and approved.

At the end of the exchange term, the courses studied abroad are recorded and demonstrated in the transcript, together with the original course codes and names and ECTS credits. Pursuant to ERASMUS Programme and Collaboration Agreements concluded thereunto, official transcripts will quote, an abbreviation signal of ET, European Transfer, for the courses studied abroad.
[] Description of Program

Mechatronics of our age is accepted as a new and popular science, mechanical, electrical-electronic and computer engineering come together, the software and control engineering is a concept of interdisciplinary topics that collects under the same roof.
